Default Exhaust made for clearance

The exhaust from in front of the cat and back has been ripped off again. The big catalytic converter just hangs too low. Where can I get a smaller one to put on it? And maybe get the exhaust tucked up above the uni-frame. Anyone done something similar? The muffler isnt too bad. Its a short height flowmaster. But the cat hangs ridiculously low. I'm going to go check the sizes of universal cats sizes on ebay now.

You mean to tell me that no one has changed their exhaust to help keep it from getting ripped off?

Got myself a new cat and muffler to put on. Thought I would update this to help out anyone searching around in the future. I bought a magnaflow converter and a cheap cherry bomb turbo muffler. I got TONS more clearance now. The converter and muffler now only hangs an inch or so below the frame.

Yeah the only exhaust problem i've ever had was i put a 45 degree bend in it right after the CB Glasspack hung about even with the center of the axle hit that a couple of times just had to trim it though.

my flowmaster 40 hangs about 2 inches under the frame because i didn't have enough space to tuck it in there without hitting the driveshaft, so i just drive it accordingly.

The stocker hung rediculously low. I'm talking like four inches. It was hard not to catch it on everything. And when you have something with only a moderate lift kit and cut fenders to clear 31s so that the COG stays low the belly isnt as high as some rigs. It will help even more when I throw another 2" of lift at it and put 33s on.
